I'm full of rebellion against fate

Chapter 240: Strange Car Accident



Chapter 240: Strange Car Accident

After hearing this, the terrified expressions on Uncle Chen and the others' faces also eased. It turns out that hypothermia is so terrible, and these people's strange conditions are also caused by hypothermia. If you don't know, you might think they are all possessed by ghosts!

Fortunately, the search and rescue personnel and police officers arrived quickly. Everyone still had a tired look on their faces, but they were all very happy when they knew the person had been found.

After finding the person, Chang Ningchen and Dongfang He left. In order to avoid another car accident caused by fatigue driving, Chang Ningchen went to a nearby hotel and booked a room.

When Chang Ningchen first asked for a twin room, the front desk looked at him strangely, but Chang Ningchen thought about it and decided that it would be fine for the two of them to sleep in one bed, and it would be more economical, so he chose a double room.

He was feeling a little sleepy, so he took the room card and went to take a shower and sleep. Dongfang He saw that Chang Ningchen was so tired, so he hugged him and went to sleep together.

Chang Ningchen was awakened by some strange noises when it was almost dawn. After waking up, he saw Dongfang He sitting at the head of the bed looking at the wall where the TV was.

Chang Ningchen looked at the time and saw that he had only slept for three hours, so he asked, "What are you sitting here looking at?"

Dongfang He hesitated for a moment and replied, "I seemed to see a cockroach just now."

Chang Ningchen was startled. He sat up and said, "Hurry up and put it out. What if it turns off the light and crawls onto my face?"

Dongfang He comforted Chang Ningchen and said, "I just saw it crawl out from the crack of the door."

"That's good." Chang Ningchen continued to crawl back into the bed. Dongfang He hugged him and said, "The room next door is a bit noisy. There were strange noises all night long."

Chang Ningchen was still a little confused and didn't want to wake up. He said, "I'm disturbing the neighbors! I want to call the police... but I'm a police officer. Sigh... I'll just hold on tight."

Dongfang He was amused by Chang Ningchen's words, and covered his ears so that he could continue to rest.

When checking out the next day, Chang Ningchen told the front desk clerk about the situation. The clerk smiled a little embarrassedly, then pursed her lips as she looked at the person passing by.

Judging from the expression of the man at the front desk, this guy was most likely the one who lived next door to him. Chang Ningchen looked at him somewhat unhappily. The man was a little flustered when he saw Chang Ningchen's look. He took his things, checked out of the room and left.

Chang Ningchen looked at the young man unhappily. He looked to be about thirty years old, tall and thin, and somewhat handsome, but his expression was a little strange. He left the hotel with a suitcase and a bag.

The bag looked a bit strange. It seemed to contain two long and thin stick-like things.

Chang Ningchen also checked out and left because he still had a case to investigate. Not long after getting in the car, he found that his car was out of gas and he had to refuel.

After asking passersby for the location of the nearest gas station, Chang Ningchen drove a wrong road and drove further and further away. Suddenly, he saw a car burning on the side of the road, so he quickly stopped!

"Ding! Side quest: Strange car accident! Mission completed: +100 points! Mission failed: Car scrapped!"

Is this specifically targeting his car?! He called 119 and 110, and Chang Ningchen waited there. After putting out the fire with the fire extinguisher in the car, he discovered a human figure inside.

Leading the team was Wei Chen's colleague Zhou Zheng. They had solved cases together before so they knew each other. He said, "Inspector Wei, didn't you go to the Elderly Care Unit? Why are you everywhere?"

Chang Ningchen felt a little embarrassed. He thought Zhou Zheng was talking about the accident he had caused due to fatigue driving. He quickly changed the subject and said, "I was looking for a gas station, but I took the wrong road and saw this car burning on the side of the road. When I was putting out the fire, I saw that there seemed to be someone else in the car."

Hearing that there was someone in the car, Zhou Zheng hurried to check the situation. The forensic doctor had also arrived at this time.

Zhou Zheng learned the name of the car owner through the license plate number. The owner was Cheng Yuanwang.

As the person who reported the case, Chang Ningchen had to go back to the police station to take a statement. After spending a whole day, he was back to the starting point. Not long after he finished taking the statement, Cheng Yuanwang's family came over. His wife was crying heart-wrenchingly, and her cries could be heard in the police station.

Seeing this scene, Chang Ningchen felt that life was so unpredictable. Who knew that the people around them would suddenly disappear and never come back? Dongfang He looked at the man's wife and said in confusion: "Normal people usually refuse to see their relatives get into trouble. Even if they are sad, shouldn't they cry after confirming their identities?"

Dongfang He's words reminded Chang Ningchen of something. Based on his many years of experience as a detective, this woman's behavior was indeed a bit strange. It was possible that she was confused because she was concerned, but it was not ruled out that she knew from the beginning that the person in the car was her husband.

But this would increase her suspicion. After all, if something happens to one of the couple, the suspicion of the other would increase.

Chang Ningchen wanted to go over and see what was going on, but he was taken away for another case. Officer Lao Zhao pulled Chang Ningchen over and said, "Old Wei! Why do I keep seeing you lately? Look, look, is that you in the surveillance video?"

Chang Ningchen craned his neck to look at the surveillance video on the computer. Wasn't that the footage of him leaving the hotel that morning?! He quickly explained, "I went out looking for someone yesterday and didn't get back until late at night. I just found a hotel to sleep in. You guys don't want me to get into another car accident due to fatigue driving, do you?!"

Old Zhao pointed at the young man Chang Ningchen had met that morning and said, "This guy is involved in a missing person case. He asked a girl to go to a hotel the day before yesterday, but the girl disappeared from the surveillance footage the day before yesterday. The girl's parents have reported the case to the police."

Chang Ningchen thought of the suitcase in the young man's hand. Friends from Changsha all know that usually women put suitcases in their luggage and men put sacks in their luggage, but the suitcase the young man brought that morning was not big.

Then Chang Ningchen suddenly remembered the disturbing noise last night and the thin stick in the young man's hand, and he couldn't help but feel a chill on his back.

Chang Ningchen pointed at the stick in the bag in the young man's hand and asked Lao Zhao, "Old Zhao, what does this stick look like?"

Lao Zhao took a look and said solemnly, "This length is very similar to the tibia in the human leg. Maybe this bone is too long to fit in the suitcase, so I'm holding it in my hand."

After listening to the conversation between Lao Zhao and Chang Ningchen, the police officer watching the video looked unhappy. He said nervously: "This man went into the XX vegetable market, and when he came out, the stick in his hand was gone."

After hearing what the police officer said, Chang Ningchen and Lao Zhao quickly ran out of the police station. If they put this pork on the stall and it was bought by some unsuspecting customer, they would be in trouble!

When they arrived at the place, Chang Ningchen asked Lao Zhao to stay in the car, and he and a colleague in plain clothes went in to avoid causing unnecessary panic. Fortunately, the man threw the bones into the trash can next to the pork shop.

Chang Ningchen brought out the two bones without anyone noticing, but he was also very scared when he held the human leg bones in his hands. The murderer's psychological quality was too strong!

After returning to the police station, Chang Ningchen took another statement about the case. He suspected that the boy had dismembered the body next door while he was sleeping last night!
